I was recently trying to do some trading for a Savage 24 .22LR/.410. It had the receiver/butt-stock half moon scollops.The trigger guard was the cast aluminum variety. The butt-stock and forearm both appeared to be walnut, with a shiny finish on them. The .410 left side chamber area had an "ES" (without the quotation marks)very clearly marked with a metal stamp.
The person I was trying to deal with kept thinking the ES had some significance, as it was just out there, all by itself, on the left side of the .410 chamber. I didn't do the deal for a couple of reasons. One of which was that the .22LR muzzle had what appeared to be a crude "crown"! it appeared to have been countersinked! I've never seen one of these before either.
My question to the gurus is this...couple of questions, actually.
1. Any idea what the metal stamped ES on the left side of the .410 chamber is? (Any monetary value in this?)
2. Is the "countersink" crown job a homemade deal, or was there some coming from the factory that way?
Thanks, I appreciate your help on this matter. I'll bet Odell knows exactly what it means, and if there's any significance to it.
I forgot... it has no S/N, the breech opening tang is behind the hammer, and the barrel selector is on the right hand side of the receiver, and it's a straight Savage 24. It has a removable front blade sight that is held on with a screw, and a leaf rear sight. Hope this helps some!

BUT It shoots just fine. Go figure.
